Romario played with Ronaldo and Rivaldo. 1998, Tournoid de France before Romario injured and missed France 98 world cup.
I know that he played together with them for a while but he didn't last with them.
It was when Ronaldinho came that we heard of the triple R

What you are missing is that the Premier league today is far more intense and tactical than what Ronaldo faced.

These guys are playing in a far more tougher environment.
Premier league of today that players like Haaland and Salah far less talented compared to R9 made look like a Belgian league

Yes because it is difficult to spend time on the ball Today. Tactical defending is now high and skillful play is very difficult.

They are super stars in their own rights,but super stars is not what we are talking about.

John Utaker was called one of our super stars together with Jay Jay and Kanu by the commentator in a match against Cameroon 2004 Afcon, doesn't mean he is one of the greats like Kanu and Okocha

Whatever tactical defending intricacy,legacy defending or whatever that is going on today,a player like R9 will come up with his own password and key to unlock any defence in any top league in the world including premier league

Nwakali has to be the biggest enigma in Nigerian football history. The way he gets all this hype and amazing stats yet he can never seem to stop playing for struggling teams that are relegation candidates. When will he ever get to play for a decent team, even if mid table? something just doesn't feel right about his career.

It won't be that easy. Football has changed. Solo runs are almost extinct. Even Maradona would find it difficult.

All I am saying is, Brazil keeps producing special talents. From Romario to Ronaldo to Rivaldo to Kaka to Adriano to Robinho to Neymar to Gabriel Jesus to Vinicius to Rodrygo. While we see harvesting talents as once in a generation thing.

In one generation, Spain produced Fabregas, David Silva, Xavi, Iniesta, Xabi Alonso, Mata, Arteta. Then they produced Isco, Thiago Alcantara, Sarabia, Koke,Rodri. Now they have Pedri, Gavi, Yaccine, Fati. But we are waiting for another generation, while Spain produced these after Kanu and Okocha era.

Boss, how was Olayinka's performance against Man City today? I think he came in after the 60th minute mark.

It was a good performance from him. Nice movement, showed skills and also drifted well to both wings. However, with our dominant play, it was difficult for him to cause us havoc. But liked his performance.

Watch Ortega's skills. This guy was magic. There were those who preferred Gallardo to him. Our own, we just keep pressing ourselves.

Aguero is one of the best players in the history of football. Di Maria is a footballing legend. Pastore is one of the most skillful players to grace the game. Tevez is a legend of the game. These are big names.

We are just stagnant because we keep sabotaging ourselves.
DiMaria isn’t a legend, a fantastic player? Yes but no legend, same as Tevez. Pastore was a form player, sometimes good sometimes mid. No come dey hype gbeff players here

I see those that have made impactful performances to win the champions league as legends. Tevez and Di Maria tick that.

Pastore is one of the most skillful players in the history of the game. Which makes him special. No hype.

Is it not Manchester United Barcelona used to play Ludo on the field in two Champions League finals? You think Ronaldo will even see ball if he was to play Barcelona of Pep or this City team? Football has changed.
